Patent CA-2368053-C (CA)
Inventor: GLAESENER PIERRE
IPC: B29C45/67

Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A mechanism (10) for applying a clamping force to a columnar member (20), such as a tiebar, is described. The clamping mechanism includes a compressible member (22) surrounding the columnar member (20) for gripping the columnar member and transmitting a clamping force thereto, which compressible member is slidable along the columnar member. The mechanism further includes a clamping piston (40) for applying a clamping force, which clamping piston (40) has a bore (44) with an engaging surface (46) for receiving and frictionally engaging the compressible member (22). The frictional engagement between the compressible member (22) and the engaging surface (46) prevents any relative sliding movement between the compressible member and the clamping piston. The mechanism still further includes a sliding piston (50) for applying a clamping force and for causing the compressible member (22) to slide along the columnar member from an initial position to a preload position where the compressible member (22) is compressed by contact with the engaging surface (46) as the compressible member moves between the positions. Compression of the compressible member causes it to grip the columnar member and apply an initial clamping force. The main clamping force is applied to the compressible member and hence to the tiebar by moving the clamping piston (40) to a clamping position. A method for applying a clamping force to a mold using the clamp mechanism of the present invention is also described.

Abstract: A process of fabrication a corrosion and erosion resistant component. In one embodiemtn, the process entails applying one or more corrosion resistant materials onto a pre-formed, sacrifical core and then enclosing this first material and the core with a surrounding capsule. Any space within the capsu le is then substantially filled with a second material, after which the capsule is sealed and treated to cause the second material to densify and to metallurgically bond to the first material. Thereafter, the core material an d capsule are removed via chemical and/or mechanical processes to yield a component with a shape that approximates the space that existed between the capsule and the first material, and with an outer surface that reflects the shape of the outer surface that reflects the shape of the outer surface of t he core and the inner surface of the capsule.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à mesurer précisément le taux d'écoulement unilatéral de véhicules sur une machine d'essai au banc en un temps réduit, sans endommager la carrosserie ou les pneus du véhicule. Des galets (1F, 1R) destinés à recevoir les roues (WF, WR) d'un véhicule (A) sont mobiles vers la gauche et la droite. Lorsque les roues (WF, WR) tournent à une vitesse prédéterminée, les forces transversales (forces de virage) s'exerçant sur les galets (1F, 1R) sont mesurées au moyen de détecteurs (3). La vitesse angulaire de lacet est calculée lorsque le véhicule (A) exerce une rotation stationnaire sur la base des forces transversales sur les galets (1R, 1R), et le taux d'écoulement unilatéral est calculé à partir de la vitesse angulaire de lacet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising at least one safety shut-off control valve (A). A safety valve (B) is optionally connected to said safety shut-off control valve, connected in series in the fluid flow path. In the safety shut-off control valve (A), a sealing valve is returned to a sealing position against a seat (8) by means of a return spring (18), and is controlled by a linear actuator (10) and a connecting rod (9) for continuous adjustment of the valve opening. The connecting rod (9) comprises two independent segments (12, 13) which are at least partially made from a ferromagnetic material and which are magnetically coupled to a magnetic coupling circuit (19) that is activated by a coil (32). While electric power is being supplied to the coil (32), the magnetic field that said coil creates maintains the linking rod (9) segments (12, 13) coupled to one another, such that the linear actuator (10) can control the sealing valve (7). Once the power being supplied to the operating coil (32) is interrupted, the segments (12, 13) separate and the sealing valve (7) returns to said sealing position regardless of the position of the linear actuator (10). At the same time, the check valve (26) of the safety valve (B) is pushed back to the sealing position by a return spring (29). In this way, a continuous control valve with a double safety system is produced.
